James McNaught, the Village chair, wants the FA to speed up its "broken" process and deliver better training of referees. "This season alone, we've had three separate incidents of abuse that we've had to follow up with the FA. Wilson is one of the more battle-hardened Village players - "I'm quite adversarial," he admits - but he has not become numb to the slurs, and says the damage it causes often goes unseen. It claims "an updated reporting process and website means all completed online forms will be sent directly to the relevant FA and County FA staff so they can begin any investigation process immediately". Going forwards, Village Manchester will continue to impress upon the FA that this particular form of discrimination can be tackled more effectively.
